view at the tower. The tower was built first to be sure there would be a huge tower. It never got as high as planned! Only 50 meters of the 150 meters where accomplished. |
The Boerentower, recently called the KBC tower because of the name of the brand of bank company that shows on the top of it. |
in the right site upper center a view on the UFSIA university |
detail of the tombstone on Ruben's grave |
the baptizing piece when closed (where Ruben's children were baptized) This is a 16th century piece! |
and when you pull the cover up, the white pidgeon (Holy Ghost) comes down. |
detail of the oldest stainwindow in the churgh 15th or 16th century |
detail of the organ ornaments |
the bells at the tower All dating from after the WWII as the Germans took all the original bells to make weapons out of it. |
it is a high climb up in that tower! |
... with a magnificient panoramic view over Antwerp! Left the Boerentoren, at the right the Cathedral |
